Lower production in Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu leads to higher costs. This festival season might be a costly affair with vegetable prices being abnormally high for the last month, and escalating rapidly during the last week due to Navaratri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVegetables from Ooty, such as carrot and beetroot are in great demand and are very costly. We get only half the usual supply from Ooty these days,\u201d said N. Satheeshan, who runs a wholesale vegetable shop at Kallai in Kozhikode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The price of carrots is close to \u20b9100 per kg or more while beetroot is priced at around \u20b970 per kg. \u201cThe price of drumstick has soared recently; close to the Pooja holidays,\u201d Mr. Satheeshan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, the price of tomatoes has slightly come down in the last two days. \u201cThe cost was around \u20b9920 on Saturday for one box (27 kg) while it is \u20b9820 now,\u201d said K. Radhakrishnan, who sells tomatoes at Palayam vegetable market in Kozhikode. He used to bring tomatoes from Mysore earlier but now he sources them from Tamil Nadu. \u201cThey are of better quality, but costlier,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vendors say that climate change and unexpected rain in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have led to this drastic rise in the prices of vegetables. \u201cMany farmers lost their crops in the floods, while others had lowered their production. With a high demand, which the farmers there are unable to meet, the prices are bound to go up,\u201d Mr. Radhakrishnan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He expects the vegetable prices to come down only after Deepavali, which is towards the end of the month. \u201cThe demand for vegetables is high during the festival season and hence the high price,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
